Patent number: 11720755Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating sets of candidates comprising images and places within a threshold geographic proximity based on geographic information associated with each of the plurality of images and geographic information associated with each place. For each set of candidates, the systems and methods generate a similarity score based on a similarity between text extracted from each image and a place name, and the geographic information associated with each image and each place. For each place with an associated image as a potential match, the systems and methods generate a name similarity score based on matching the extracted text of the image to the place name, and store an image as place data associated with a place based on determining that the name similarity score for the extracted text associated with the image is higher than a second predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Hintz, Lionel Gueguen, Kapil Gupta, Benjamin James Kadlec, Susmit Biswas

Patent number: 11379502Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving geographic coordinates for a location, determining a road segment associated with the location based on the geographic coordinates for the location, and determining a plurality of places associated with the road segment associated with the location. The systems and methods further provide for extracting visual data for each of the plurality of places, generating a plurality of feature values based on the visual data for each of the plurality of places, and analyzing the plurality of feature values to generate a visibility score for each of the plurality of places.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2018Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kapil Gupta, Jeremy Hintz, Susmit Biswas, Houtan Shirani-Mehr, Moustafa Elshikh, Sai Bhuvan Teja Balla, Roberto Fonti, Juthika Kiran Dabholkar

Patent number: 11321579Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a places dataset comprising place data from multiple data sources each having a plurality of place data. Based on the places dataset, the systems and methods generate local clusters comprising places located within a predetermined distance, generate probable pairs of places in each local cluster, and distribute the probable pairs to one or more processors to determine similar edges between one or more places in each local cluster based on a plurality of combined similarity measures indicating whether or not a place is similar to another place. The systems and methods further generate similar pairs based on the combined similarity measures and convert the similar pairs into connected components comprising groups of similar places based on a best similar edge from all the candidates for a group of similar places.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kapil Gupta, Sai Bhuvan Teja Balla, Susmit Biswas, Chun-Chen Kuo, Jeremy Hintz

Publication number: 20200408550Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for accessing at least one data store comprising activity points for a first place and determining selected activity points to use to generate one or more area of influence (AOI) geometries. The systems and methods further provide for generating one or more AOI geometries using the selected activity points and using an AOI tuple associated with the first place, by performing operations comprising generating one or more clusters of data points corresponding to the selected activity points and generating one or more polygons for each of the one or more clusters of data points. The one or more AOI geometries are associated with the first place, each of the one or more AOI geometries comprising each of the one or more polygons.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2020Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventors: Kapil Gupta, Jeremy Hintz, Kevin Chang, Susmit Biswas, Houtan Shirani-Mehr

Patent number: 10708708Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving geographic coordinates for a location, generating a plurality of candidate places located within a predetermined distance from the location based on the geographic coordinates of the location, and extracting a plurality of features from each candidate place of the plurality of candidate places. The systems and methods are further provided for generating a place score for each candidate place of the plurality of candidate places using the plurality of features for each candidate place of the plurality of candidate places, determining the best candidate place based on the place score for each candidate place of the plurality of candidate places, and providing a place name associated with the best candidate place.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Roberto Fonti, Juthika Kiran Dabholkar, Jeremy Hintz, Kapil Gupta
